On-the. same ground- ale had to object to the - dispatcheS ot the 2211 and 27th August : p trt of those dispateheahad been concealed; one of them wa4 a.letter which Sir _Richard.

LordHOLILkNi) oti;erved, thit question be fore them rniist, be considered with a reference to two distin6t dricumehts.— the public diSpatcheS froth `the Cormiranders of the Expedition, and the priVate Narrative presented by Lord Chatham to his Ma jesty. 'The answer which his. Majesty had been ad vised to give to the-Address of , t;te. City of Lendon involved this' dilemma ; either- that his Ma jesty's Mieisteri had 'deceived , his Alajcsiye„ or that 'they had themselves been. deceived by one of their, osvif . colleagues. _ Either they had not been informed by their colleague -that he was dissatisfied with the - conduet WI the naval- tart of 'the Expedi tion ; or, having received from him - that.intorma-' tier), ihey hadwithheid it from his M eest:; , ; for- it_ was iinpossi'Dle to conceive; that had his lajestY knoWn 'tire iniptititions -which, were thrown out by the Commander in Chief of- the Land Pones in the Expedition, on his associate conim.in.ier of the" Navy, he would have told the City of Londonlhat - he did not ' think any 'inquir, into' the general con 7 dud of that _Expedition to be at all uecessary: r II:it slu'iuld turn out that his Majesty's Ministers had not ieujoyed the confidence of their c:olieague, he would ... say,:that were it pu4sebie for him -to etitertaincorri pa,sion for individuals whoSe condua demanded in- . , dignation rattier,than•pity, be should feel it for his . .MajeAy's Ministers,•degraded as they - would be by suety an avowal. then appear that the existence of that' secret influence, that unconstitu tional influence which had so frequently been es serted, and as frequernly' denied, was proved beyond the- posSibility pf doubt. , - The Earl .of WESTMORLAND declared_ that hiS' Majesty's present Ministers were , dezermined never to shrink from their duty.by an endeavour to re move theresponiibility Which ought to rest on_thern upon the shoulders of arty other individuals. The present questionlay_•in a very . narrow Compass. As tt<td been truly stated by the NoiAe Barop who had jut spokeo, it must be determined upon a consider ation Of the doculnents on the table. But what were those documents ?'The public dispatches alone, most unquestionably. On an examination of those dis patches, he defittd any' nitt%to adduce a , single in stance of the necessity of 4! ? inqiiiry into condu& of either, the Military or Naval Commander of the _Expedition; and he could not conceive, therefore, how it was possible -to 'adviSe his Majesty to give any other•-enswer to the Addres of the City of London than that which had actually been given.— With respeCt to the NarratiVe, that had been pre sented to his Majesty by Lord Chatham, he by no. means allowed that it deserved the 'reprobation, which. had been bestowed upon it. It must be recolleCted, -that on this subject the:interests of the Noble Earl and those.Of sins colleagues might be at variance. ,That which might exculpate him might- inculpate them,as that which might inculpate hind might excul pate them e A Noble Earl hadon a former oCcasion very compassionately expressed his apprehension that the present Administration did -not possess the cgriti 7,dence - of the Crown. He begged to relieve the No ble Lorti train such painful anxiety, by assuring Lim that -they were themselves perfectly at ease on hiat score. • As to the inquiry into the Expedition itself, his Majesty's" Ministers felt the utmost con fidence that its result would bein the highest de gree satisfadiory. He was convinced, that so tar would Ministers be from'being proved not to haVe done their duty on this occasion, that had they not availed themselves of the great resources of the coun try to engage in an enterprise of the magnitude and insportance of the Expedition to the Scheldt; they might justly have been charaeterised as fit and he. , rediiary successors to all the torpor and imbecility of their predecessors in office. Earl- GaE‘t expressed his astonishment that the Noble tar' should anticipate any satiOattion from , the result of an inquiry into - an Expedition so com pletely disgraceful; so extensively CalarnitaS as, the Expedition tb the Scheldt, an. Expedition by which the national honour had been degraded, and which bad • converted almost every house, in the country - law " a house Of •mourning."-- . -- The Noble Earl (Liverpool) had declared that the, Expedition had 'failed' in consequence of A departure from the original plan. -Why then advise his Ma jesty to tell the Ciiy of London that no inquiry was , necessary when, if there ever be a groUnd for an', inquiry inn) the conduct of any enterprize, a de, parture fromthe - original plan upon which the en-, terprize was undertaken must be that ground ? The Noble Earl had then stated-the difficulty Of ;Institut ing an inquiry in a case in 'which ,the military and naval services were combined; and in which dif, ferent' Courts, Must necessarily be resorted to. To this objection he could allow no validity. whatever, lf, on the ~ ,face of the original dispatches - the ut most culpability had been apparent, he would ask the Noble Earl whether an inquiry would; not have been impertonslY demanded, notwithstanding • its having • been a Joint service?—" But,'! said the Noble Earl,' "-the dispatches themselves 'did not edntain any thing to warrant an inquiry." The Noble Earl had, however, very dexterously omitted to notice the bearing of die Narrative - of the'Earl pf Chatham on the subject ; q bearing, the 'force of which had been so 'ably illustrated by. his -Noble Friend near him, that he could not repeat his argu ments to the ROUSe. • Lord INIULGRAVE entered into an able defence of tlie.eonduCt of Sir Richard' Strachan, which be considered, as wholly free from the slightest pos sibility of imputation. He had been induced to give the advice which he had given lo his Majesty. on the subject' of the answer to the Address of the City-'of., London _by a conviction impressed. on hi's mind by it-most attentive, perusal of thedis patches, and which nothing had. _since occurred to alter, that no blame was imputable to either of the Commanders for the result of the Expedition. He declared' not only that he had- never seen or heard of-. Lord Chatham's Narrative until Feb. 24,' but that he had never conceived the - Possibility. of (he exist • • ence of such a document He would adblit, that had he:s*nr• the-Norrative before the Address of the City • of London was presepttki; he might have advised his Majesty to give so far a different answer, alto dedare the result of the Expedition was,in a state of quiry ; fur although he conceived that in tie original dispateh4s wold-be found: a complete-atiswer to the, imputations (for they did' not amount to charges), contained in the Narrative, fet he thought it would have been but justice withe . gallapt miral to require from ))ini a Cotinter -statement, It 7. as this sense of justice to Sir R.. Strachan vt bich had induced horn, iiniiiediately on his having' been ma - de: - acquainte'dw,ith the'existenee of Lord ChM- :I ham's Narrative (even belbre he had' himself: . read it)'to-apprise Sir R. Strachan,..of the citcurnst:i rice, although The rapidity. -Wit li Nk filch the.Narrative , was = , moved tor,-and ptodtkui in the. House of CommonS ' would not.permit hint to send a copy of it.to the gallant Admiral. Adverting to Sir Richard. Stra chan's letter 04 the Qitli August, he declared that ir k his opinion, it by no means hOre the .character of -accusation of the military. dePartment of the,expe diiidn With which it had been:,chargt:d. It 7situpiy declared the readiness of the navy to proceed ;. at the same. time allowing that the question of procedure . was purely a military one. He ..vtould repeat what he had_ sa.tl on the first day of- the sei , iloti; that in • his opinion the want of success was not attributahl? to any, one; It chiefly_arose from.the adverse winds • and unfavourable _weather ; causes over which it Was impossible to maintain any controul, He de clar&l the anxiety which he always.felt to maintain the charaaer of the gallant offii:ers in that depart- . ment the service dyer which he had the honour to preside, and he confessed. that the Narrative of Lord Chatham '(the presentation of which to his Majesty was certainly au irregular. proce:ding) had created t0:114,i a personal inconvenience, by putting him on his . defence to the brave and distinguished . • Whew.- who had the command of the naval braneh, , of the expedition, and by putting: him on his , de-._ fence to that House. Not conceiving, however; that the Nuble Marquis-had urged any just , grounds for his motion, he should give it his. decided negative. • The . EArl of DA,RNiEY — declared 'he could :never speali . of - the disgraceful .Expedition to the Scheldt but «ith indignation,. sorrow, and disgust ; and thoug)it -that 'nothing short of tho.reauival . of the pre,ent Miniswrs coUld 'rescue the country front die grace and disaster, or save it from eventual tiestrub tion. 'Lord GRENVILLB Was glad to hear the able de= i fence made by the Noble Lord (i lulgraVe). in half of that gallant Admiral Sir Richard Sirachan,. upon 'Whorn so much blame _had been cast by the Noble General. Certainly in that defence' the No ble Lord acted but rightly;' acid iodeed it would have been itnpos t sible for any man, filling • a situalionas he did, not to be anxious that the lidnour and the unsullied, charaoer of the Navy should es cape unjust imputation. Np. man, he -believed, could possibly eptertain .anydonbt upon the subject,'; •t".hat, with this Narrative communicated to'. hirn,, it was not necessary to go into some inquiry, in or der to ascertain whether ,pr not the charges of sharpie imputed to the Gallant Admiral and the Navy were .well founded. , In this opinion the Noble Lord seemed to concur, in direct opposition,tolhe Noble Secretary of State. Sure he was that rt would be . quite - impossible for. the Noble Secretary of State fo recommend his Majesty to give the answer the did to the City of" London; if' he had been aware of the contents of the Noble GSneralgs Issiarrative t ' He blanied.Ministers for having . deter mined - against in, quiry before they were acquainted with the real me-1 -rits of the casae - 3 and as-Lord Chatham o had thoght.. ro .pper to, accuse the gallant Admiral in-his 'Narra tive, the latter ought /at least to have been called upon to give in a Narrative Z -his proceedings .also. His Lordship then adverted. to 'some of the circumstances of the Expedition, and observed, that if blame attached not ,to the Officers,' the-re sponsibility must of course -lay at the door of the Ministers. Leaving this part of the subject, there remained. one Of still greater importance to the country; in a constituional point or-wieNv, than any that had yet been 'considered. He alluded.to-the illegal and unconstitutional conduct of Lora Chatham in poisoiting,the Royal ear against those who were conjointly employed with him in the public service. This was acondu6l he execrated as subversive of th e best attributes of the 'Constitution—as tending .to introduce a system of. double Government in the country, by'which one set Of men would be put forward as the ostensible Ministers of the King, whilst another set really possessed the confidence of the,Throne, were in, possession - of the-Royal ear, and infaa were greater than the Throne itself. His Lordship.coneltided by expressing . h wish to have some official communicat ion_ how hippeped , hat - the King had been advised to giVe an answer to the City of London ..diredly contrary to that he Must have given, had the existence of the paper now be- fore the House been known to his advisers: , The question V. , as. then put, when a, division- took Place, anti the number stood thus':— Contents, 41.—Froxies, 2g—Total,. go Non-Cw.tents,.7o:— .roxies, 136 Majority-againit - the motion 46 Adjourned at Twelve o'CIO9I. • HOUSE QF COMMONS.
